Finaly got the other hub replaced on the HD. While I was at it, it got an oil change and checked the tire air. Dumb thing I did find is the last time I change the oil. I guess I didn't tighten the drain plug.  :eek  :laugh  It was just finger tight. Surprisingly it wasn't leaking.  :good   I also cleaned up from a spider making one he!! of a home under the front driver side. Here soon I'll need to replace the master cylinder. reservoir is leaking around the base. Oh and front brake hoses will need to be replaced as well. Found a funky rub mark on the right front. have no idea what could have been rubbing on it. I'll probly do the rears as well, flush the system and just be done with it all.

:eek  This thing holds 6 quarts. That could have been real ugly

Well!!!??  We were sat down and told that the city has developed positions and they will be opening hiring for these positions in October. We are encouraged and asked to go through the hiring process. They want us all to apply and they want us to stay together. They have informed WWT to let GMI(who I work for) know they are hiring the team. So it looks like we will be city employee's by the end of the year. I'm looking forward to this, BUT there's a couple things I need clarification on. Bottom line, I may be a city employee, find another job or I will retire. We will see.

Yeah, a total mess! :eek  :laugh

Well if it were me, unless I was ready to retire "now" I'd go for the city any day, better pay and benefits, and I'm sure better work conditions too. :good

LOLO I don't know about better conditions. We are already there.  :laugh  I do know communication will be a LOT better that what we have now.

Been working out in the garage running conduit for electrical. Trying to get that taken care of while I have the room. I have about 60% done in the garage itself. I still need to run to the main panel and then I can start running wire.  :good   Tired of only having 2 iffy outlets that are usable.

Iffy electrical is not a good thing, besides it's always good to have outlets all over the place, beats tripping on extension cords all over the place.   :laugh
